After some tweaking of the postcard images to make them printer-friendly, the lovely workers’ co-op printing folk Footprint in Leeds have all the images and hopefully will be printing up my postcards really soon.
Who knew postcards could bleed, eh? I’ve gone for the white border option; I think they’ll look smarter like that.
ETA: They’re en route! They should arrive on Wednesday morning. Eeeeee!
The Poly in Postcards campaign is now officially over, and I am really pleased with how it went. I raised enough to get my minimum amount of postcards printed, with which I am totally happy. We got to $199 out of the probably-too-ambitious target of $500, but it is definitely enough to get packs of postcards to everyone who helped out, and have a few left over to sell to anyone who wants some in the future.
Thank you to everyone who’s helped out!
The funding comes through from IndieGoGo on Friday, and I will place the order with my lovely co-op printer folk in Leeds on Saturday. I’m not sure how long they’ll take, but when they arrive I will take millions of photos and post them all here on the blog in full size that takes ages to load, because I will love them THAT MUCH. And then I will make postcards of those photos and run a fundraising campaign to get them printed.
YEAH.
I really hate bloggers and webcomic artists that just go on about stuff that’s totally unrelated to the actual subject of their website, you know? People have cooking blogs and then take time out to whinge about Twilight or politics or just the stupid stuff that they’re doing in their own lives. I’m doing this ridiculous and impossible scavenger hunt, with challenges like “take a photo of someone wearing a wedding dress while floating in the Dead Sea” (29 points), or “you know how cats and dogs shed? Cover someone completely in pet hair. The only thing visible is the person’s eyes. Nothing but hair and eyes. You may not shave or harm any animals acquiring this item” (44 points), and there’s no way I’m going to be able to do those because I’m broke and allergic. I’ve even bought bacon to make a bacon dress (43 points) even though I’m vegan, but you don’t hear me complaining about that on my polyamory/LGBT-related webcomic, do you?
Those off-topic bastards.
PS: GISHWHES, item #219: Create a website that exposes your own hypocrisy. (26 points)
Look, no annoying address guide lines!
For some reason the IndieGoGo site won’t let me upload this, but at least you guys can see. 🙂 There’s what the back of the postcards is going to look like, and each postcard will have the name of its comic printed on the reverse as well. If you want to reserve a pack, please do go and donate. There are also some other rewards, both more and less fancy. Thank you!
Some of those handwarmers with the PiP stripe, made in the larger size so they’ll fit both slim and wider hands.
75% wool, 25% nylon, machine washable, ribbed partly for someone’s pleasure, but mainly so they fit snugly. I don’t smoke but I do have a cat.
As before, I’ll make a comic about what I’ll do with the money, and if you want I can post a link back to your website.
Sold, yay!
It took a while because I was making a pair for a Christmas Fayre for the village in which I grew up! If you’re nearby, you should go, because there is a tombola and everything.
